The deaths of 27 people in an accident in KwaZulu-Natal on Thursday night has shocked acting president Jeff Radebe, the presidency said.
KwaZulu-Natal Road Traffic Inspectorate spokesperson Zinhle Mngomezulu said that the Pinetown accident occurred when the brakes failed on a truck belonging to Evergreen Transport.
It took the off-ramp from the M13 at the bottom of Fields Hill and crashed into the four minibus taxis and a car at the intersection with Richmond Road.
It came to a standstill about 30m from the intersection.
Paramedics from various services arrived to find people and debris scattered across the scene.
Witness told them they had seen people flung from the vehicles as they were hit and then dragged by the truck.
The eThekwini Fire Brigade used the Jaws-of-life to extract some of the injured and the dead from the mangled wreckage of the taxis.
